Narrative

An employee was checking to make sure a structural unit was cut all the way through in order to flip the unit. While the employee cleared the unit top, a piece of flat bar, approximately 5 feet long and weighing around 60 pounds, slid off the corner of the unit. The employee attempted to catch the bar and sustained a laceration to his right ring finger.
